� October 6, 1976 PLAPJN I NG REPORT CASE NElMBER: APPLICANT; LOCATIQN: AC1"ION REQU�STED; PLANNING CONSIDER�ITTONS: 10I5-76 Dorothy Nealy Northvres� Corner af Cleyeland Aver�ue and Raselawn A�renue Approvai of Prel�m�nary Plat. 1: A substan-�ial portion of �his property is occ�pied by the "Flealy Pond" which ft�nctions as a permanent ponding area in this par� of the City. T�e City has been attempting -�o o6ta7n a drainage easement for th�s pond wh�ch easement is now proposed as a par� of this plat. 2. The dry 7ant� on ihe north sid� consists o� approximateiy 46,355 square feet� whiCh dt 11,OQ0 square feet per lot would appear tv accomodate foUr 7ots. Placement of the 7ot 7in�s approximate�y as shown, however, produces three.buildinq sites with frontage on Cleveland Avenue. The building Iine �or Lot 1 wi71 be substar�tialiy bacic from C7eveiand Avenue, p7acing a home on this lot appraximateiy II� feet west of Cievelar�d Avenue. 3. The plat inciudes additiona� dedication of ten feet on the nar�t� side of Rosela�r�n Avenue and an addit�onal 1fi.5 feet on the ►�est side of Clevelar�d Avenue. Assessments will be s�read against the pro�ased lats far sewer, water, and storm seHrer services. 4. The on7y problem we see with respect to this plat, ir� consultation with the C�ty Engineers, is the proposa7 to �iat the souther7y 1.7:0 feet of the property as Qu�lot A. This outlo� contain� only wat�r area and un6uildable Iand, and obviously wi11 be let go �ax delinquer�t, This uitimatiely places the City �n a position of responsibii�ty for main�a3ning the snorelin� on thTS corner. We have a�vis�d the landowners that the por�d shouid be divided approximatel� in one- third ratios to each of the three lo�s. It is not advisable, in our opin�on to purposely plat 1and leaving unuseabie portions �'or the Ci ty to ma�r,tai n. 5. An optional method o� nlatting the lar�d wauld be io simply divide the buildab7e prop�rty into �wo reTative7y large lots. A view of �he large homes�tes across the streeton Lau�er� Road shows that this may well be a feasible possibility. In any case, wheth�r it is two lots ar three iots, the bui7ding sites will have an excell�nt view �v�r the pond and should at�ract same fin h � �mes.
